What folks might hate about it is that you didn't give any clue about the solution that you found. This particular sort of question does come up a lot, and usually gets an answer like "yes, that's one way to do it, but there are better ways..." If you found a better way, don't be shy -- sharing it is bound to help someone else who's about to ask the same question again.	[reply]

Ack, sorry graff, you are completely correct. The solution is that it does work as you'd expect. I found a stupid little error that was causing the whole script to fail. Should have spent another 5 minutes debugging before writing this one up. I'm under the gun and then jumped the gun. :( Thanks for the reply.	[reply]

Let's guess: `foreach my $numbered_param ( grep /^prefix(\d+)/ , param() ) { # do something with $numbered_param }` [download] ? If not P, what? Q maybe? "Sidney Morgenbesser"	[reply] [d/l]
